I hope you are right. However the manner of defeat in each of the last 3 games and especially the HKR and Wakey ones has hurt the club in a lot of ways. This will include the attitude of some fans. In the past it would be me that went home and 'kicked the cat', but for the first time ever I had to restrain my wife she was so angry at the performance after the Wakey game. Ryan Brierley has openly said the team are not learning fast enough. Personally I don't think they have learnt anything at all. With Bradford winning last time out and more mayhem (Chase suspended) at Salford, all we can do is win ALL our last 4 games. Unless we score a shed load of points I can't see 3 wins being enough now. Fax to beat Salford this Saturday?

Certain important players have not risen to the occasion in any of our first 3 games. Is it because the pressure is too much, is it because we have played 3 SL teams first up, who knows. All I know is that something has gone missing and discipline issues are creeping back in. Kurt was just stupid against Wakey and cannot be defended (even though I am sure some will try). I actually have him as a first choice player in my ideal team by the way.

Either way we will be there on Sunday hopefully with a couple extra in tow

A lot of that rings true for me Derek. What we need on Sunday is a rollicking good performance against Sheffield. We SHOULD beat them, but you never know in these games! We too will be there to find out!

P.S. Wish Salford had suspended Rangi before the game against us!

If Childs spent more time getting our opponents onside and, less time Lecturing our players we may stand a chance!. Last time we played the Eagles, Knowles spent more time in our lineout than his own! Childs is rotten for Leigh we must be careful and toe the line or we will be penalised out of the game. If teams are going to be allowed offside against us we must plan accordingly, we saw what the long kick did against wakey, lets have the short kicks over their offside men! No doubt Tulapapa will be his loco self ? we definitely cant afford to lose this one!

Agreed.

Aye, the reason we have lost the first three games is the referees' abysmal performances, nowt to do with poor tactics, poor discipline, poor decision making, players' poor form etc. If the referees gave us a fair crack we would have six points instead of zilch.

Oooooh, get you ! Obviously not, we didn't get thrashed at Salford because of the referee. If you watched Childs in action, guess you have, with your username/avatar. Childs doesn't do offside, never looks left/right, defending teams get away with murder...no he's not biased, it's just his weak spot.

I know your username is REFFY, but your 'sticking up for officials' is rather predictable and boring. Why don't you type stuff like a Leigh fan, rather than local official Phil Bentham.
